This was our first stay at the pier and we had an awesome time! We stayes at the Cardinal cabin and our friends stayed at the other 4 cabins at the pier. We loves the amenities as a large group, especially the docks and pavilion. The cabin was a perfect place to sleep and all we needed. There is no AC so it does get warm during the day, but with all the things to do outdoors (we rented and pontoon at Lloyd's rentals down the road) no one wanted to be in the cabins anyways. The cabin itself had everything you need including a fully stocked kitchen. Linens and towels were also provided as well. The screened in porch was also a lovely perk especially because out door to get in the cabin didnt have a tight seal on the top or bottom so it helped with bugs.

Perfect little getaway!
This little cabin was perfect for my family. We ended up just bringing my 13 year old along and he was happily up at dawn every morning to fish off the dock. The cabin itself is adorable and just the right size. It had everything we needed and our hosts made communication a breeze! Highly recommend!!
